Gold Is Where You Find It

About the Book

In 1839 Texas cowboy Jed Kendall arrives in Independence, Missouri too late for his mother’s funeral. His boots and saddle maker father is set to join a wagon train of tradesmen headed for Santa Fe. Jed joins them. Earlier, he rescued young rancher Ann Stanton from brutal treatment by her stepbrother. Ann begs to go with the wagon train because she thinks she knows where gold, not mined or panned but buried coin, is hidden. The Kendalls agree to take her. The journey begins, trailed by Ann’s crazed stepbrother and stalking indians. Also, the book is about reticent mule skinner Liam O’Brien, Jed’s love for Ann, a peculiar map for locating treasure, and destruction and death. Thrill to this dangerous trek and its astonishing conclusion.
